Pros

Good work life balance, generally you are encouraged to take vacations and recharge yourself. Weekend working is also discouraged. They have employee friendly policies like 6 months of maternity leave. The work is good depending on the team you join. There are options to move around to other teams. Hikes and bonuses are pretty good.

Cons

Global Service Centres have poor infrastructure and local site leaders may try to sabotage the corporation's employee friendly policies. Growth may be too slow in many teams. Communication is not the strong point of senior management.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
